the Fire King as opposed to those of King
Borealis The day itself was per-
feet winter day, bright with sunshine,
joyous with the eleation of q happy
cOntented people. The railroads were taxed
to their utmost to bring the thousands who

these were numbered by scores and hum
dreds. A Chicago train brought 1900 peO-
pie, and this is an index of the influx upon
the great day. Minneapolis sent its thou
sands to see and take part in the great event

works that followed was grand. The walls,
buttresses and parapets had on their top
bombeetes, shooting stars, boquets and other
beautiful designs, and French dragon nests
were fired from mortarS. The most beauti-
full thing of the whole was the finale, the
cascades of fire around the top of the main
tower, these being in eight pieces,
each weighing $50 pounds, and
as they burned throwing many colored
fires in every direction, representing the
